Forecasts

Luna Magic (9/4), Inclement Weather (10/3), Havana Goldrush (18/5), Desert Doctor (5/1), Iconic Knight (17/2), Fieldsman (12/1), Letter Of The Law (28/1)

Back over his optimum trip, HAVANA GOLDRUSH returned to form at Bath last week and having been eased further in the weights, he looks the one to be with. Inclement Weather and Fieldsman are a couple of potential threats.
